In an episode packed with emotional tension, long-buried secrets, and raw confrontation, Home and Away Episode 8475 sees Roo Stewart forced to face the truth she’s been trying to deny — and Eliza Jacobs can no longer keep running from her past.
For weeks now, something about Eliza hasn’t sat right with Roo. At first, it was subtle — a strange comment here, an awkward deflection there. But as Eliza embedded herself deeper into Summer Bay life, Roo’s sense of unease only grew. While others were charmed by Eliza’s confidence and warmth, Roo watched from the sidelines, unconvinced.
Now, in a powerful moment that’s been building all season, Roo finally demands answers — and what she learns sends shockwaves through the Stewart family.
🌊 The Calm Before the Storm
Episode 8475 opens quietly, with Eliza enjoying breakfast at the Diner, chatting casually with Marilyn and Irene. She seems more relaxed than ever, comfortable in her surroundings and beginning to settle into the Bay. But the calm is short-lived. Across the room, Roo watches her with a storm brewing behind her eyes.
After receiving confirmation of something she’d been quietly investigating — a name, a photograph, and a connection too close to be coincidence — Roo knows she can’t ignore it any longer. The moment she’s dreaded is here.
Alf, as always, urges caution. “Don’t go accusing someone unless you’re sure,” he warns. But Roo is sure. And more than that, she’s hurt. Because Eliza didn’t just lie — she got close to the Stewart family under false pretenses.
🔍 A Confrontation Years in the Making
Roo finally confronts Eliza outside the Surf Club in a charged and deeply personal exchange. Her voice is calm, but there’s no mistaking the edge beneath it.
“I know who you are,” Roo says. “And I know why you’re really here.”
Eliza tries to brush it off at first, but Roo presses forward, revealing the details she’s uncovered. Eliza’s real surname. Her estranged connection to someone Alf once wronged decades ago. The pieces click together — Eliza’s interest in the family wasn’t accidental. It was deliberate.
Backed into a corner, Eliza admits the truth: she came to Summer Bay not by chance, but to settle an old score. Her late father was involved in a bitter land dispute with Alf back in the ‘80s — a feud that tore families apart and ended in resentment that never healed. Eliza, only a child at the time, carried the bitterness into adulthood. When she heard about Alf and Roo online, she made her way to the Bay under a false identity, intending to get close — and maybe even expose them.
But things changed.
“I didn’t expect to like any of you,” she says quietly. “I didn’t expect to feel… at home.”
💔 Repercussions for the Stewarts
The fallout is immediate and emotional. Roo is stunned — not just by the lie, but by how close Eliza had gotten to them all. “You had dinner in our home. You sat at Dad’s table. And all that time, you were using us.”
Alf is left shaken when Roo brings the truth to him. Though he vaguely remembers the family Eliza is connected to, he never imagined it would come back around like this. Marilyn, ever the optimist, encourages forgiveness — but Roo isn’t so sure.
“I can’t tell if she was trying to hurt us… or if she just got lost along the way,” Roo says.
🌫️ Eliza at a Crossroads
The final act of the episode sees Eliza packing her bags, uncertain whether she should stay or leave. She’s torn between guilt and the unexpected sense of belonging she’s found in Summer Bay. Irene tries to convince her to stay and face things. But Eliza is tired of hiding.
Meanwhile, Roo is left to reflect on her instincts, her judgment, and the vulnerability that comes with letting someone in. The line between forgiveness and self-protection has never felt thinner.
🔮 What’s Next?
With the truth finally out, the question is: can Roo and Eliza find a path forward, or has the damage already been done? Will Alf confront the past he tried to forget? And is Eliza truly sorry — or still holding something back?
Episode 8475 is a gripping hour of television, showcasing Home and Away at its dramatic best. With nuanced performances, emotional weight, and the promise of more revelations to come, this episode sets the stage for a powerful new chapter in Summer Bay.
Don’t miss it.
